Watch out when selecting fans!

When selecting a fan, it is often more useful to look at the static pressure instead of the total pressure. Our Danish colleague Torben Lintrup Kirkholt explains why this is the case and talks about why manufacturer details based on overall pressure should be treated with caution.»

Compact fans for the technologies of the future

The digital world is developing at a fast pace. Communications technology, data centers, as well as technologies such as indoor farming all need ever more powerful electronics to process enormous data flows. At the same time, packing density is rising inexorably. This makes cooling a challenge. Now a new compact fan is opening up interesting possibilities; with an edge dimension of only 10 cm, it delivers up to well over 500 m³ of air per hour.»

5G in every corner

South Korean telecommunications company SK Telesys is bringing the 5G mobile network to every corner of large buildings with its remote radio units (RRUs). Three axial compact fans with extra power provide cooling for the RRUs.»

Power fans for cooling electronics

The digital world is developing at a breathtaking pace. However, cooling is becoming a challenge, both in telecommunications and automation. It’s hardly possible to install more powerful fans or increase the number of them, as compact solutions are in demand and noise protection requirements must be complied with. A new compact fan from ebm-papst is a future-proof alternative, as it delivers up to 50% more air performance than conventional solutions.»

Fast commissioning, energy-efficient operation

Cleanrooms have particular requirements when it comes to their ventilation systems. Filter-fan-units (FFUs) designed for ceiling installation combine fans with filter technology, making it possible to optimally fulfill these requirements.»

“Axial and centrifugal in one fan”

The DiaForce diagonal compact fan is revolutionizing electronics cooling. Christian Stern, Product Manager at ebm-papst in St. Georgen, reveals why this is.»

Future-proof cooling in data centers

Due to trends such as mobile Internet, cloud computing and Internet TV, data centers have become major energy consumers. Therefore, investing in energy-efficient fans for the associated cooling systems is essential. Modern EC technology can make a significant contribution toward reducing current consumption, helping to save the environment and the operator’s overheads in the process.»

Active power-factor correction minimizes circuit feedback

For the first time, GreenTech EC fans with integrated, active power-factor correction (PFC) and a three-phase supply are now able to fulfill the high requirements imposed on data centers with regard to circuit feedback and the harmonic distortion of the input current.»

The formula for the data transfer time

In a Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus, the data transfer time is an important parameter for the communication between master and slave devices.»

Always well informed

The more information that is available, the easier it is to keep everything under control. Which is why the people responsible for upgrading the data center of the Canton of Zug decided on efficient fans with MODBUS interface.»
